Inside the Qinzheng Hall.

Looking at the imposing young man below, Cheng Mu was excited.

Xin Qiji, the unrestrained poet and general of the Song Dynasty, the outstanding man, the dragon among the poets!

He had thought of many scenes, but he didn't want the two to meet in this scene.

The name of Xin Qiji really accompanied him throughout his growing years.

From childhood to middle school, from middle school to university.

Qingpingle, low eaves, green grass on the stream...

The moon in Xijiang, the bright moon leaves the branches to startle the magpies, the breeze sings the cicadas in the middle of the night......

For a while, when I was drunk, I looked at the sword with the lamp on, and dreamed of returning to the company of blowing horns...  

The case of sapphire, the night of the east wind and the blooming of thousands of trees... Suddenly looking back, the man was in a dimly lit place...

To put it simply, Xin Qiji is Cheng Mu's youthful memory growing up.

So now when he sees Xin Qiji, it instantly brings back his childhood memories and nostalgia.

People are like that sometimes.

Many times, Cheng Mu might forget about Xin Qiji. But now when I see it, I will have such a deep memory!

"You'an! See Emperor Qi!"

In the hall, Xin Qiji looked at Cheng Mu who was full of thoughts and saluted. His voice was loud and resounded throughout the hall.

That's right, he was deliberately interrupting Cheng Mu.

After saluting, his head was still held high.

"Hmm...Okay, give me a seat!"

Cheng Mu came to his senses and ordered someone to bring a stool. At this moment, he was only curious about Xin Qiji, and he took the initiative to ignore that disrespectful gesture.

At this time, Xin Qiji looked like he was in his twenties. Long and proud, with sword eyebrows and star eyes, a face like a crown jade, and eyes like bright stars.

Dressed in a green robe, with a hair crown of a warrior on his head. When Cheng Mu saw him, he couldn't help but praise him: "What a dragon among men!"

Some people are the favored ones of heaven, standing here will involuntarily become the focus.

And Xin Qiji is also such a person!

"I don't know what kind of good news You'an brought this time?"

After taking Xin Qiji to his seat, Cheng Mu cut straight to the point.

It was beyond his expectation that Zhao Kuangyi could send Xin Qiji here.

"My emperor wants to become a country of brothers with your country!"

Xin Qiji's words were tough, just like him.

"presumptuous!"

But as soon as his words fell, Xiao Huangmen on the side immediately scolded him. Why is this envoy of the Song Empire so arrogant?

He looked at Cheng Mushi's demeanor with a condescending attitude.

"nothing."

With generosity in his heart, Cheng Mu stopped Xiao Huangmen who spoke out and reprimanded him.

Only Xin Qiji could look like this in front of him. If it was someone else, he would have been beheaded long ago.

At the same time, Cheng Mu was also very curious, why is Xin Qiji so obsessed?

He had just destroyed the Ming Empire, and his prestige had already spread to every corner of Earth and Star.

Isn't this Xin Qiji afraid?

This is Aiwujiwu.

Cheng Mu likes Xin Qiji, so he can tolerate some of his outrageous behaviors.

"Humph!"

Xin Qiji snorted coldly, and said arrogantly: "My emperor said that as long as your country is willing to become a brotherly country with our country, our country can subsidize your country with one hundred thousand taels of gold, one million pieces of silk brocade, and three thousand beautiful servants every year." !"

After saying this, his head was completely raised to the sky, and he never looked at Cheng Mu again.

"Ha ha ha ha!"

In an instant, Cheng Mu smiled and understood.

He didn't agree immediately, but instead asked, "So, do you disagree with this condition?"

This Zhao Kuangyi is very interesting. Be a brother to yourself, and then fund yourself so many things every year.

This is not being a brother, this is being a younger brother!

"Of course I don't agree!"

When Cheng Mu found out, Xin Qiji simply stopped pretending. He lowered his head, looked at Cheng Mu and said, "If your country is not strong, what qualifications do you have to form a brotherhood with me, Da Song?"

In fact, Zhao Kuangyi realized his strengths and weaknesses after being beaten on the ground by the Tang Empire for a year.

Since the strength is not enough, then use money to buy a few brothers to support.

That's what the Liao Empire and the Xixia Kingdom did.

"interesting."

Cheng Mu smiled and said, "Well, I don't want your golden and silk brocade beauties either, as long as Da Song is a vassal state of the Tianqi Empire, then I can keep you Da Song safe!"

One hundred thousand taels of gold, one million bolts of silk brocade, and three thousand beauties.

Does your own Apocalypse Empire lack this thing?

I am not the Liao Kingdom in the Chanyuan Alliance, and I can send a mere 100,000 silver and 200,000 silk brocade.

Even if silver is exchanged for gold, two hundred thousand silk brocades are exchanged for one million silk brocades, and three thousand beautiful servants are added, Cheng Mu is not tempted by this condition.

"Do not!"

However, Xin Qiji refused this condition without even thinking about it.

He changed a condition: "Our country can subsidize your country with millions of gold, tens of millions of silk brocades, and 10,000 beautiful servants every year, as long as Emperor Qi recognizes my emperor as his eldest brother!"

This is the best condition Zhao Kuangyi offered.

Isn’t this the case in the Song Dynasty, Xixia Kingdom, and Daliao Kingdom in history? Although he won, he still lost money.

However, on the surface, Xixia became Song Guo's eldest brother. In fact, it was bought with money.

Of course, don't think that Zhao Kuangyi's behavior is spineless. As long as the stability of the country can be maintained, after the trade between the two countries.

The economy of the Song Empire will become more and more prosperous.

As long as the economy is prosperous and the people are well-off, then Zhao Kuangyi will be able to secure the throne!

"Hehe, is a sentence of big brother so valuable?"

To be honest, Cheng Mu was also a little tempted.

It's just a big brother, and I don't lose anything. But what can be exchanged is one million taels of gold, ten million silk brocades, and ten thousand beautiful servants.

A few more years of calling myself are enough to give wives to the soldiers under his command!

But in the end, he shook his head.

He pushed away the temptation in front of him, and told Xin Qiji his attitude: "As long as your country is willing to be a subsidiary country of our Tianqi Empire, I can protect your country's long-term stability!"

His Apocalypse Empire already has the attitude of a big brother, even if he pretends to recognize Zhao Kuangyi as a big brother, it won't work.

Even if the salary is attractive, even if Zhao Kuangyi is older than his elder brother.

But in the face of national interests and the power of the Apocalypse Empire, how can mere petty profits blind Cheng Mu's eyes?

"In that case!"

Seeing Cheng Mu's refusal, Xin Qiji gritted his teeth and said indignantly: "Our country can subsidize your country with millions of gold, tens of millions of silk brocades, and serve 10,000 people every year. We only need to form a brotherhood with your country!"

"If our country is attacked by a powerful enemy, your country must fulfill its responsibilities as a brotherly country!"

Negotiation is all about haggling. When Cheng Mu couldn't be shaken, he could only show his sincerity.

"this is okay."

Seeing Xin Qiji's angry, threatening words, Cheng Mu couldn't help laughing.

This is to use the most vicious attitude and say the most embarrassing words.

This contrast between Xin Qiji really made him fall in love with him.

"But at this time, your country will have to bear the military expenses of the soldiers under my command."

Although he likes it, Cheng Mu will not suffer.

Isn't your Great Song Empire rich? Then just pay a little more.

As long as the money is in place and there are no issues of principle, then everything is easy to talk about.

Anyway, the Apocalypse Empire now needs allies, so tie the Song Empire to the chariot first.

His own Apocalypse Empire is powerful, while the Song Empire is rich and rich. what is this? This is a strong alliance!

"it is good."

Xin Qiji's expression finally eased a little.

This is actually the bottom line of the Great Song Empire. If Cheng Mu wants to make more demanding demands, then he will turn around and leave.

"Haha! Come here, prepare the palace banquet!"

The two hit it off immediately, and Cheng Mu walked forward happily, and personally took Xin Qiji's hand.

Extremely concerned.

He didn't even need to think about it, Xin Qiji must have started with SSS level aptitude.

Just talk about his feats in history: leading more than 50 people to attack an enemy camp with tens of thousands of people, capture the leader of the bandit and bring it back to Jiankang, and hand it over to the Southern Song Dynasty court for execution.

what is this? This is the general!

When he led the 400-day cavalry to attack the 500,000 Yellow Turban Army, this was already an impossible miracle.

It is also a miracle that Xin Qiji's fifty people beat tens of thousands of people.

You see, the common ground between the two has been found!

At the banquet, Cheng Mu enthusiastically persuaded him to drink. Although he is the emperor, Xin Qiji is qualified to let him pour the wine himself and drink to his heart's content.

The so-called wine meets a confidant, and a thousand cups are rare. When the wine was mixed, he asked the biggest doubt in his heart: "You'an actually doesn't agree with the alliance, why did you come here in person?"

Judging from the rebelliousness shown by Xin Qiji at the beginning, he was an ally who harmed the interests of the Song Empire during the resistance.

In history, Xin Qiji was also the main fighter.

"Without him, I'm just weak in Song Dynasty."

Xin Qiji took a sip of wine, feeling a little depressed.

It is an indisputable fact that the state of Song is weak. Although Yue Fei, Yang Ye and others supported the backbone of the Song Dynasty, most of the court is still weak.

If you can spend money to eliminate disasters, then spend money to eliminate disasters.

And Zhao Kuangyi chose among the empires for a long time, and finally chose to ally with the Apocalypse Empire.

why? Smart eyes know pearls!

The second reason, Xin Qiji did not say it. It was because he was also curious about the Apocalypse Empire and Cheng Mu.

So, here he is.

"In that case, why doesn't You An come under my command?"

Cheng Mu really liked Xin Qiji, so he invited him after drinking.

As long as Xin Qiji surrenders, he can definitely become an existence at the same level as Xie Xuan.

Capable of literature and martial arts, he is truly a peerless Confucian general!

"As long as you have great ambitions, You'an, the whole world is your stage!"

He is looking forward to Xin Qiji's demeanor on the battlefield!

"Thank you... Thank you Qihuang for your kindness."

In fact, for Xin Qiji, he still has a good impression of Cheng Mu.

First, the age of the two wants to be close. They are all teenagers with lofty ambitions and have common ambitions and words.

Second, Cheng Mu's courtesy to him. He originally thought that entering the Apocalypse Empire would bring him down, but he didn't want to be treated politely all the time.

It seems that Cheng Mu is really like his confidant!

However, he was born as a minister of the Great Song Dynasty, so he must serve the Great Song Dynasty.

"Hehe, it's all right."

Cheng Mu was not discouraged either. He smiled and said, "Since the two countries are brotherly states, we will get closer in the future!"

Since Xin Qiji is loyal to the Great Song Empire, it will be easy to handle.

As long as he is a courtier of the Song Empire~lightnovelpub.net~, he must obey Zhao Kuangyi's orders.

At that time, start with Zhao Kuangyi, and then maximize Xin Qiji's favorability. Then, isn't this dragon among men going to fall into Cheng Mu's hands?

This is the self-confidence after strength.

Now that he can't get the system summoning reward, he can only recruit the general he likes by surrendering.

In fact, it's not that the master of the system is stingy and no longer rewards historical figures.

It's because all the historical figures with names and surnames in history have all descended.

If you want to recruit subordinates, you can only do it through your own efforts.

In addition, with Cheng Mu's strength now, does he need to draw cards to draw his favorite general?

unnecessary.

As long as he takes a fancy to it, then push it across!
